  Since Democrats Are All About the “Children” why does ABORTION Not Bother Them?

  if everything is supposed to be about the lives of children, how can they hypocritically fight to take babies and kill them?

  what about the children and their quality of life?.

  I think educating people is a much better approach to fixing problems than right at the end of the pipeline with welfare and other emergency interventions.

  I agree. If more "pro-lifers/anti-choicers" had the same idea, they could try to make sure their youth has proper sex ed (that goes beyond "don't have sex, God hates it"), knows about and has access to anti-conception, etc...

  The abortion crowd never says they are "pro abortion" it is always "pro choice."

  Yes, we all know "the abortion crowd" goes around forcing pregnant women to have an abortion.
  They're trying to make laws forcing women to have at least one abortion in their lives.
  And they go around bombing fertility clinics because the "pro abortion crowd" just hates babies.
  They're not satisfied with women to have legal and safe opportunity to choose to have an abortion or not, they force them to have abortions because they're all 'pro-abortion'.

  Jesus what utter bullshit.
  

  
  I can agree with those who express their disagreement with one position or the other, while accepting that whatever a woman decides to do with her body is her personal business, not theirs or the government's.

  But those who create straw men arguments by implying that the "pro-choice" crowd is actually "pro-abortion"...yeah I think that's quite dishonest.

  To me the issue appears to be pro-choice vs anti-choice (wrt abortion).

  Btw do the "pro-lifers/anti-choicers" actually rally to make the government support poor and struggling parents? Do they (in general) only value new life, or do they care about the quality of that life (and the lives of the parents and siblings) as well?

  
  
  

  Anyway I never understood the USA model of polarizing everything. Pro-choice vs pro-life...pro-gun vs anti-gun....it seems to leave way too little middle ground for people who are not in any of the extremes and want to add and discuss caveats and grey areas.

  Are they available elsewhere? Have you considered submitting them to FaithLeaks?

  Doesn't one of the other leaked videos mention the number of buildings that the HQ real estate dept. cares for?

  Can we calculate what % of kh that they're selling/have sold?

  Why Do People Oppose Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by BlackSpirit in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  jesus christ, the son of the most high god, jehovah has this to say: "if the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

  if you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own.

  now because you are no part of the world, but i have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.

  Some people seem to be so fascinated about members of the governing body. They forget that only one is our leader, Christ. And only one is our God, Jehovah.

  If by "some people" you mean the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, you're absolutely right. They have manoeuvred themselves between man and God, making Jesus stand in their shadow.

  Don't believe me?

  Then think about this: according to Watchtower teachings, is it possible to serve Jehovah and be accepted by Him without supporting and obeying the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses?

  And if supporting and obeying the GB is vital for salvation and a good relationship with God, haven't they effectively placed themselves instead of Jesus? (compare Rom. 10:9; John 1:12, John 3:15, 16, 18; John 5:24; John 8:24; Acts 10:43)

  Wow. They use VoIP now. After a project of 15 years according to their own words.

  Excuse me.

  Decent multinationals have been using VoIP for 15 years and didn't take so long to implement it.

  Surely Jehovah's blessing is a curse in disguise.

  Evolution is a Fact #1 - Protein Functional Redundancy

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i intend for this to be one of a series of bite-sized ops on the evidence for evolution.. introduction to dna genes are sequences of dna made up of words (codons) each of which are three letters (bases) long.

  there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet (acg&t) each word or codon is the recipe for one amino acid.

  there are 20 different amino acids in living organisms.

  The goal of evolutionists is to “explain” everything found in nature naturalistically.
  

  That's the goal of all scientists in any field of science. Nature is what we can perceive, measure, detect, and try to understand. Anything supernatural is beyond investigation, and thus useless as a means to try and understand nature.
  

  
  Claiming "we are stuck to Earth by the power of Shiva" doesn't do anything useful towards our understanding of gravity. Claiming "Thor makes fire go" does not help us in any way to understand how or what fire works. Claiming "Jawheh created all species of life" does not do anything to help us understand how life came into existence.
  

  Furthermore, such claims cannot be proven or disproven*. "Zeus created us from his brother's excrements" is just as (in)valid and plausible as "We came into existence in Shiva's dream", which is just as plausible and (in)valid as "The Holy Trinity created us from dust"
  

  *) of course the more ridiculous details that contradict reality in many supernatural interpretations of nature can be disproven.
  

  This is really the “bottom line” for them (they will even go so far as to insist that science be defined as the search for “naturalistic explanations”

  Indeed. If anyone could probe or even interview their god(s) of choice reliably, scientists would be happy to use that source of knowledge too. Unfortunately any and all of the thousands of gods people believe in conveniently hide themselves in the minds of their believers only. It's almost as if they don't exist.

  Such a view excludes the possibility of creation a priori

  No, it does not. Scientists would be happy to conclude some things or all things were created, as soon as they find evidence that it is. But such evidence simply hasn't been found yet. There's stuff we don't understand yet. There's stuff we can't explain yet. But none of that is explained by saying "Surely we exist because Shiva or Thor created us"
